Middle East

After the election of Trump, the priority of the United States concerning Assad was initially not to force him out of power, but this policy quickly reversed in the wake of the 2017 Khan Shaykhun chemical attack

So we’re expected to believe that Bashar al-Assad gassed his own people. But why would he? It would make him even more of a pariah. He chose medicine as a profession. Did you know he was a doctor before being recalled to Syria after his brother died?

It just doesn’t make sense.

What if a group of war profiteers blamed Assad for this so they could attack the Syrian air force – which is guarding the Golan Heights where oil was discovered in 2015?

Trump’s decision to order the airstrike was influenced by his daughter Ivanka, who is employed as an official advisor to her father in the White House. She said on Twitter she was “heartbroken and outraged by the images coming out of Syria following the atrocious chemical attack.”

Netanyahu

The Golan Heights is a contested area. The western two-thirds of the Golan Heights are occupied and administrated by Israel, whereas the eastern third is controlled by Syria, with the UNDOF – the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force maintaining a buffer zone in between.

How well does Netanyahu know the Kushners? Netanyahu has long been a friend of the Kushners, and particularly Jared’s dad, Charles Kushner, a major donor to pro-Israel and Jewish causes. One time, – not specified when – Jared gave up his bed and moved to the basement so Netanyahu could spend the night at their home in Livingston, New Jersey.

Genie Oil

Genie Energy holds the drilling rights to the oil under the Golan Heights.

Rupert Murdoch, another influence on Kushner, is on the advisory board of Genie Energy – along with former CIA Director Dick Cheney, James Woolsey, and Lord Jacob Rothschild.

One of the ways Syria keeps control of the Golan Heights is with the Syrian Airforce. Clearly, Rupert Murdoch and that crew would like to see Syria lose control of that area to Israel – and one of the ways to do that is to take out their planes.

Rupert Murdoch

How well does media mogul Rupert Murdoch know Jared Kushner? Rupert Murdoch was his mentor. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were introduced to each other by Rupert Murdoch’s (now) ex-wife.

So there is one degree of separation between all these players. Join the dots.

Here’s an awe-inspiring sight, a pillar of cloud protecting Israel on the Syrian border on Dec 5th, 2016.

It brings to mind the column of cloud that was there in the Exodus when God stood between Israel and the army of Pharaoh.

Is there any proof for the events in Exodus 14, and the Red Sea crossing?

Ron Wyatt, a colorful and controversial amateur archeologist found chariot wheels on the floor of the Red Sea, relating it to the Biblical account of Pharaoh’s army being drowned while pursuing the Hebrews.

He never got his work peer-reviewed so I don’t consider his findings relevant. For me the cloud is evidence of the Exodus.

And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Exodus 14:19

We’ve got a new man to broker a Two State Solution, he’s got an interesting address, he’s Jewish, and he’s the son-in-law of Donald Trump. Jared Kushner has been named as senior White House advisor to Donald Trump.

Who is this man? He’s a real estate develop with no diplomatic experience. But he managed Trump’s election campaign. Very successfully I might add.

He’s an observant Jew. His paternal grandparents, Rae and Joseph Kushner, were Holocaust survivors who came to the U.S. from Poland. So he may succeed where the other non-Jewish US leaders have failed.

Location, location

A successful businessman, Jared Kushner oversaw his family’s real estate empire, Kushner Companies, from his skyscraper three blocks south of Trump Tower, at 666 Fifth Avenue.

666 Fifth Ave

Under Jared’s leadership, the company purchased the storied office building at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York City for a record $1.8 billion in 2006, which at the time was the biggest sum ever paid for a single office building, according to the New York Real Estate website the Real Deal.

Having an address at that location does not qualify him for being the antichrist – the one who “confirms a seven-year peace agreement with many” in Daniel 9:25-27. He doesn’t match other criteria laid out for this role. But if the reason Jared Kushner paid such an exorbitant price for that address is that he follows the Kabbalah, then from his actions, we can hazard a guess at the religion of the antichrist.

The number may have significance in the Zohar – the Kabbalah holy book. Here’s what a Rabbi said; “Mosad Hayesod” cites the Vilna Gaon’s commentary on the Zohar that “the number 666 contains hidden within it exalted and lofty messianic potential.” Source: The Significance of 666 in Kabbalah

Are there any Jewish Messianic hopes here? Jesus did warn about that in Matthew 24, saying “For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”Matthew 24:5.

He also said,“I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.” John 5:43.

The False Messiah will come in his own name, and it will be the name of a man. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666. Revelation 13:18.

In November 2016 the US Secretary of State John Kerry sneaked into New Zealand to meet prime minister John Key and Trade minister Murray McCully. We were surprised at the timing because it was election day in the US.

We now know what the meeting was for. It involved Israel … and the TWO State Solution. They met on the 13th November to discuss “particularly matters currently before the United Nations Security Council, including the Syria crisis.”

And what was currently before the United Nations Security Council? Israel.

The Two State Solution

Here’s what led to the meeting. There have been seven decades of failed peace talks between the ‘Palestinians’ and Israel. US Secretary of State John Kerry led the most recent attempt at brokering a final peace agreement. Those talks broke down in 2014, and then NZ successfully bid for a seat on the UN Security Council.

In 2015 the NZ government immediately started to pressure Israel to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, by using its position on the UN Security Council. It led to Israel sending a blunt message to the NZ government not to try to restart the peace talks.

The day of the meeting on 13th November had barely ended, when at two minutes after midnight on the 14th November 2016 NZ was struck by the massive 7.8 earthquakes. This time there was damage in Wellington, and Kaikoura was devastated.

The Number Two sign

The number two figured prominently in this earthquake. Two huge earthquakes happened simultaneously, involving two different plates, at two minutes after midnight, that lasted two minutes, with two people dead, affecting two islands (the North and South Island), and to top if off the land underwent a two-metre shift south of Marlborough.
I have covered this more on my other blog: The trap in the ground, and the trumpet in the sky.

After the earthquake, NZ put forward a motion in the UN Security Council on the 23rd of December 2016. (You’d think we’d have better things to worry about.) It criticized Israel’s settlement in East Jerusalem, commonly referred to as the West Bank. That meeting led to the Paris peace conference three weeks later on the 15th January 2017, a shameful Two State Solution hammered out in Paris without agreement from Israel.

“Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?” Amos 3:3

This cartoon shows what I think of complicit little NZ’s actions. I hope Israel and God will forgive this foolishness.

Did you know the term “peace and security” was given as a sign before the Lord’s sudden return? “Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.1 Thessalonians 5

Pope Francis called Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border “un-Christian.” That’s rich, coming from him. The Vatican is a walled city state!

The current situation in beleaguered Europe shows us why nations need borders. German Cabinet Official Gerd Muller said only 10% of the migrants have arrived from the Middle East and Africa. “Eight to ten million migrants are still on the way.” He slammed the European Union for failing to control the crisis, saying the border-free Schengen zone has “collapsed.”

“Lose security? Lose employment? SCHENGEN NO”

The Schengen Agreement was signed by ten European nations in 1985, removing Europe’s borders. At the same time, multiculturalism was being imposed through immigration. Do “ism’s” ever work?

Along with multiculturalism came political correctness. No-one’s allowed to report on the multicultural elephant in the room. Or the Islamic camel’s nose in the tent.

Of the million strong migrants that arrived in 2015, how many of them are genuine refugees?

What is going to be done to protect the culture and the European people? Boundaries are there for a reason – whether national or personal.

Boundaries are good, and they’re God ordained. It is written “From one man God made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. “ Acts 17:26

In the next verse we read “so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.” Acts 17:27

Even atheist China saw the link between Christianity and Western freedoms. But it seems Muslims covet the gifts, but not the giver. Are they going to seek the Lord, or will they demand their own way and seek to impose Islam on their host societies?

It’s obvious that not all religions are the same. The Bible makes some interesting statements about religion and the land. In Leviticus 18 God warns that if the land is defiled; he will punish it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants. In Psalm 68:6 we read that “the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.”

Lets looks at the countries that Islam covers from above.

What does that tell you? The only green spot in it besides the Nile delta is tiny Israel. It’s the only nation that’s democratic and not Islamic. If it’s because of a lack of rainfall, then Israel should be just as arid.

Here are some borders from around the world. The difference between Haiti and the Dominican republic is another remarkable picture. Haiti practices voodoo.

The distance from Mecca to Temple Mount in Jerusalem, as the donkey flies

There are troubles in Jerusalem again, and fears of a third Palestinian intifada.

Libels about the Temple Mount were used to incite hatred and provoke violence against Jews, such as Israel having no connection to the Temple Mount, and Israel wanting to destroy the al-Aksa Mosque or change the status quo in the place.

So let’s look at the facts. Does Israel have a connection to the Temple Mount? Jerusalem was part of Jewish history and writings for more than 2,000 years. Christians know this as it’s in our Bible. Jerusalem is mentioned 767 times: 626 times in the Old Testament, and 141 times in the New Testament. In addition to the scriptures it’s proved by archeology and historians outside of the Bible like Josephus.

Does Israel want to destroy the al-Aksa Mosque? No. They’re not like Isis. Israel got Jerusalem back after being attacked by the Arabs in the 1967 war – but in the interests of peace they left the Temple Mount under Islamic control.

There are eleven gates on the Temple Mount – ten are reserved for Moslems. Moslems can pray on the Temple Mount, Jews can’t.

What is Islam’s connection to the Temple Mount? The Moslems claim Jerusalem, the capital of Israel as their third holy place – after Mecca and Medina. Their claim is based on “the night journey” where Mohammed is supposed to have flown to “the furthest mosque” on a donkey.

Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran at all.

The Spirit of Antichrist

Inside the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount, there are arabic verses from the Koran (19:33–35), which are considered blasphemy to Christianity, where Jesus is denied as the Son of God and called “the son of Mary.”

That is what the Bible calls the spirit of Antichrist. The early Church, established 600 years before Islam, warned it was coming. The apostle John wrote “This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.” 1 John 4:2-3

Jesus said “Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles (non-Jews) until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” Luke 21:24

Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; their evil imaginations have no limits. They scoff, and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth. Psalm 73:7-9

The Bible speaks of a people who clothe themselves with violence, lay claim to heaven and talk about taking possession of the earth. (Psalm 73)

Wonder who that would be? In Arabic, Islam means submission. They’re regarded by God as people who hate Him, but pretend submission to Him. Psalm 81:15 (NKJV)

Muslims pray at the al-Aqsa Mosque, bowing down towards Mecca. It means their backsides are pointed at the most Holy place.

What right do they have to do this?

For Islam to verify its claim to Jerusalem based on Mohammed’s night journey on a flying donkey, we need some witnesses. You know, from archeology, the scriptures, and historians. I’ll take even one of those three. A matter is always established by two witnesses.

Right now, the claim is based on a whole lot of assumption.

The only witness in this case is a donkey. And this was centuries before the Shrek movie. (That’ll do, donkey.)

I wonder how far it would be, on a flying donkey? Just asking. How would we measure it, as the donkey flies?

So lets measure the distance from Mecca to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Incidentally, Jerusalem is 2,550 feet above sea level. That’s 777 meters. For the distance, we’ll use nautical miles. A nautical mile is a unit of distance that is approximately the length that spans one minute of arc on the surface of the Earth, measured along any meridian.

Mecca is 666 nautical miles from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. That’s the number associated with the antichrist and his kingdom. Does it agree with Islam’s claim on the place? Draw your own conclusions!

Last month Israel had a freak sandstorm of Biblical proportions, the worst since the state of Israel began. It lasted four days and ended just before Rosh Hashana on Sept 13th 2015, the Jewish New Year. Normally sandstorms come from the south, but this one blew in from Syria and covered the land.

In Bible prophecy a vast coalition will advance against Israel from that direction, “like a cloud that covers the land.” Ezekial 38

"You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, Gog, I will bring you against my land,
so that the nations may know me when I am proved holy through you before their eyes." Ezekial 38:16

This week I’ve been wondering why China is getting involved in the Syrian conflict, and why it’s beginning to look like World War 3.

Watching the news on TV didn’t enlighten me, but I didn’t expect the media to cover it from the angle I’m looking at – the Bible prophecy in Ezekial 38 and 39. The prophet Ezekial wrote about a war in the latter days, where God puts a hook in the jaws of the prince of Rosh (Russia) to drag him and his allies into a conflict on the mountains of Israel.

With that in mind, I’ve been keeping an eye on the conflict to see if there’s something that would cause Putin to attack Israel. After I prayed about it, news was announced of a major oil discovery this week – on the mountains of Israel, the Golan Heights. This is a game changer. That land is under dispute with Syria. After this oil find, you can bet Syria is going to want the Golan Heights back. And Russia is Syria’s ally. Here might be the hook in the jaws of Gog. If Russia invades Israel, you’d better start reading the Bible for your news.

Afek Oil and Gas, an Israeli subsidiary of the U.S. company Genie Energy, confirmed the find in an interview with Israel’s Channel 2 TV. They said the strata was 10 times as much as the normal strata so they’re talking about we are talking about significant quantities. They started drilling in December 2014.

Notable investors and shareholders of Genie Energy are Howard Jonas, former US Vice President Dick Cheney, Michael Steinhardt, Jacob Rothschild, and Rupert Murdoch.

It’s an interesting name, Genie Energy – and the shareholders are all powerful men. And power corrupts. Their corporate logo is an oil lamp. A Genie (or Jinn) is a spirit of Arabian folklore, as depicted traditionally imprisoned within a bottle or oil lamp. I wonder what’s going to happen when they let this Genie loose.

Now it becomes clearer why Washington wants to remove Assad, and why Putin wants to keep Assad. Washington doesn’t even care what Islamic horror Assad would get replaced with. Look at what happened to Libya after they removed Gadhaffi. Before it had the highest standard of living in Africa. Now it’s a failed state.

In the Bible this territory was given to the tribe of Joseph through his son Manasseh. It’s disputed territory because it’s in the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Six Day War.

In Jacob’s blessing to Joseph in Genesis 49:22 he speaks of Joseph getting “blessings of the deep that lies beneath.”

The blessing from the deep is confirmed in Moses blessing, when he gave the tribes their territory: “And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, with the precious things of heaven, with the dew, and the deep lying beneath.“

This blessing is going to be a double-edged sword that will probably lead to war. Because when Jacob gave Joseph his blessing, we read on the next line, Genesis 49:23: “The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him.” The bow is associated with Ishmael, the father of the Arabs and the ancestor of Mohammed (Genesis 21:20). And we know the Arabs hate Israel.

Here you can see the sandstorm from 8th-12th Sept 2015 that covered the land like a cloud.
Is it a warning sign?
